About TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.

You are then prompted to answer five multiple choice questions, with musical cutscenes between loading screens, leading to the final result.
Depending on the character, you'll be given a Spotify link with a playlist tailored to Bumblebee, Izabella, Cade, Viviane, Megatron, and Optimus Prime.
While the playlist tracks obviously differ, the one constant appears to be “Torches” by X Ambassadors. Though we know Celldweller i taking part in the movie soundtrack too, we have yet to have confirmation on any new track for the movie other than the snippets heard in trailers! So, is this one it? Take a listen, and let us know in the Energon Pub!

I mean, you'd think the older generations would like machine parts more. Guess it's nostalgia getting the best of people. And I guess I'm starting to convert to the Bayverse robits cult.
What age range are we talking about when saying 'older generations'? I'm 38 in August and the movie stuff is my fave and as I've said before, provides the complexity and general real-world approach to the design and transformations I have always wanted since I was happily buying the Marvel UK comics as a kid and getting Transformers toys as presents.

It shows the "Wreck-Gar" character in hd and I can't unsee his torso being a topless fat guy with the "belly button?" and other "things'.
What kind of "hat" is he wearing?

Are we sure that 'Wreck-gar' isn't just Hound?

He's not but until his official name is confirmed I'm just referring to him as "Wreck-Gar" hence the " " just like how the old tank at Hopkin's castle is being referred to as "Bulldog" because that's the word on the side of the tank.Stuartmaximus wrote:So is this Wreck-Gar or not? coz Sabr kept saying that it's not confirmed! mind you....his head looks the same as Hound's(Wreck-Gar not Sabr! lol)

Besides having "Beards" that don't even look the same he looks nothing like Hound in fact in the Ellen clip which seems to take place before this scene Hound is shown in his TLK body.
This guy has a completely different voice, different hands, a different "hat" and is quite a bit shorter too plus the guy was complaining about them always fighting and Hound is the opposite of that.
Also some dude I've been talking to told me the guy is a different character from Hound among other more "spoilery" things.

Well he had a repaint back in 2004 as an E-Hobby exclusive named Detritus http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Detritus_(G1)
Detritus is a Junkion much like Wreck-Gar and is a mercenary who would work with both Autobots and Decepticons making him some what of a neutral and although this guy seems to be a pacifist unlike Detritus it still might make him a neutral.

While their not much like their G1 counterparts we got obscure names with The Fallen, Crosshairs, Barricade, Blackout and Grindor and that's just remembering from the top of my head.
I can totally see these films using even more obscure names since this film is seemingly trying to be all lore heavy with Transformers.

With the exception of The Fallen - which admittedly was pretty surprising - I'm pretty sure those names were just chosen because they figured they fit the characters rather than them knowing those names had previously just been supplied. More than likely they were just on a list of names Hasbro still had copyrighted and said could be used.
Still, never know - if this was intentional and there's some huge TF nerd working on this movie, that'd be pretty awesome

Yes I agree the names were random but they were still used is what I meant.

For those that want to know the movie is better then the sequels although one of them thinks the first one is better, the Transformers get a lot of screen time and interactions including the Decepticons.
Edit: the big twist of the movie is mentioned in big detail and I suffered the consequences and have read it but whatever I'll enjoy seeing it on screen so yeah...giant mega spoilers.
Edit 2: and so were deaths... screw me that's the thing I wanted to avoid man I really should of waited because just reading it is jaw dropping so I'm saying this now as a warning.
Whatever you do don't read any major spoilers before watching the movie at all seriously it's a colossal mistake and you will regret doing so a lot only do so if you really want to like seriously this is the first time I regret doing this like there should be a news post telling people not to.
If I'm not allowed to say anything I won't and this will be all besides maybe standard voice cast for characters we know are in the film.
Posted by Kurona on June 14th, 2017 @ 4:42am CDT
What I will ask though - and there might be something official about this later, I'm just saying it unofficially now - please do not post ANY spoilers for the movie in this thread whatsoever before it is publicly released. Even minor vague things like 'a character dies' - admittedly, not exactly unexpected in a Michael Bay Transformers movie - are something that would be best saved for PMs. I realise leaks and early viewings are becoming a thing, but let's not ruin things for everyone else.

I shall not nor never post what I've read in this public forum heck I only wanted to know a few minor details which I got the answers for in fact one of them which is non spoilery is above which is the name of the Junk Truck guy.
Any questions will be answered in private pm's and I shall not share the major plot twist although people are going to spread it anyways since a lot of people saw this post as well I'll only share the big deal with people I know who won't spread the news.
I'm not a jerk who's going to ruin the movie for other people I'm just a guy who constantly hunts for news and I just so happened to bite off more then I could chew this time actually I just went and tweeted to Bay about the leak.

"We wanted Hot Rod, he was the stand out bot in the film" - Mike McCartney
"We had almost no reference for his fighting style so we asked Hasbro and they told us he was like Errol Flynn but fighting closer to the ground" - Cuz Parry
Another cool tidbit was that while we were able to play with Hot Rod as a character in Forged to Fight while we visited the studio, we were unable to pull off his signature third special. It was locked since it was Hot Rod making use of a special weapon he uses in the movie and they didn't want to spoil anything. My persoal guess is that it's a bone saw, one can dream.
